Hey everyone,
The combat update is here. I've spent the last month overhauling the combat in the game as well as adding farming, more food, artifacts, armour, better visuals and more.
I hope you enjoy the update and that you all so much for the support :)
You will need to create a new world.
Combat/Movement Improvements
There have been many improvements to movement and combat. The player can now crouch to make it harder for enemies to hear/see th...

You can now find and use various artifacts in the game, each of which has a unique function that enhances your combat abilities.

I've added farming to the game. You can now plant different seeds that will grow (sped up for video) and produce food. Different foods now also give temporary buffs. E.g tomato increases max health, lean meat increases heath, mana and stamina regen rate etc.

Been working on adding full PBR texture maps to the materials in the game. Each material now has color, specular, metallic, roughness and normal. Still very WIP & some reflections are funky but its promising.

G'day everyone. I'd just like to start off by apologizing for the long delay between major updates and the lack of content in this update. The huge boost in popularity the game received from the building video lead to a huge number of bug reports and an extended hotfixing period. This is not a bad thing, I am extremely grateful for all the support and these bugs needed to be discovered and fixed at some point. I have also recently moved house 600km away from where I was living. As you can ima...

I've added weather to the game. Each weather type can either be weak or strong. Also each biome can have unique weather e.g rain in Mystical Forest and dust storms in Outback Canyons.

In my opinion sound is as important as visuals. I've made a procedural ambience system that places/adjusts ambient sounds depending on the surrounding environment/weather conditions. No more generic looping background ambience round here.
Headphones recommended.

Been working on improving voxel data generation speed in Lay of the Land by using Intel's ISPC. Still working on it but the results are super promising. I've managed to get a 2-3x speedup depending on hardware.
Average Bulk Voxel Data Query Time:
Intel i7 6700k: 3.4x speedup
No ISPC: 6.123ms
ISPC: 1.759ms
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D: 2.6x speedup

Update fixing my oopsie in 0.4.6. This bug would not have corrupted your world or anything. Or set you computer on fire 😂. Just a really bad bug that somehow slipped through the cracks even with the increased amount of QA I have been doing recently.
I will try my best to ensure that this never happens again.
Your 0.4.x worlds will work fine. Please update when ready.

Hey everyone,
Just another small update that addresses some more bugs/issues.
I'm going to be moving to mostly working on new content now so unless a bug is game breaking/seriously effects the gameplay experience it will be fixed in the next major update. It's been a big week and I am so happy to see all of the new people enjoying the game. Thanks so much.

Hey everyone. Just thought I'd give an update on what's happening with the next update.
I hope to get it out next week or the week after. This update has been the most challenging thing I've attempted in terms of game design. I don't think a building system like this has ever really been done so I hope you guys like it 😁.
In hindsight I should have probably released the game initially with building as it would have made development easier but you live and learn I guess 😂....

You can now easily make paths with the path tool. They will blend seamlessly into the terrain and clear vegetation for you.

I hope you like shapes cos we got shapes. Builds dont have to be boxes. With these shapes you can easily build a circular tower, a hexagonal house or even a spherical shelter. The limit is your imagination.

Here's a look at how terrain flattening will work. Use a mattock tool in flatten mode to lower terrain to the targeted height/use a voxel item in flatten mode to raise terrain to the targeted height.

Hey everyone. The new update is here and it's a big one. New enemies, structures, weapons and more have been added to the outback canyons biome. There are also new voxel simulations, new weapon types and more. I have also made a few balance changes, fixed a few bugs and made various other improvements. It has been a pretty long road for this update and I hope you all enjoy the new content :)
